Oyster Farm and Tasting Experience
Overview
Inclusions
- Oyster tasting
What to expect
On the activity, which is a brilliant thing to do to amuse the kids (6+) even on a bad weather day, you will tour our farm, and learn about the farming process from seed to plate, you will get to see the team working on the farm whether it be grading, packing, or turning bags in the bay.
Once we have taken you through the whole process, we demonstrate how to shuck an oyster and if you’re feeling adventurous you can shuck your own oyster! The first oyster is an explosion of taste, as your pallet adjusts with the second and third, you will taste the true flavour, which has been described as sweet, having creamy notes with a touch of earthiness.
This is a multisensory, authentic experience delivered in a magnificent setting at the foot of the Connemara National Park and 15 minutes’ drive from Kylemore Abbey.

Today we have visited the Oyster Farm in Connemara, our experience was absolutely positive and guided tour was brilliant. Finally we have tasted probably the best oyster that we ever had in our life, straight from sea to mouth. Totally perfect. You guys should get a Michelin star for the quality of the food you produce!I would lie if I said I eat oysters and that I came here because I am a fan of them... I came here to finally try a fresh one and what better way is to have it straight from the place that is farming them as opposed to inner city restaurant?

I would lie if I said I eat oysters and that I came here because I am a fan of them... I came here to finally try a fresh one and what better way is to have it straight from the place that is farming them as opposed to inner city restaurant? The tour is informative, interesting and very educating - I have had a pleasure in the past to enjoy a pearl farm tour in Mexico but this was completely different experience, both great of course :) It's pretty windy and cold at times so makes sure you layer up - we visited in June and even though it didnt rain the coastline is pretty cold with the wind! TIP: if you come here and dont try the oysters it's fine, though it kind of makes sense and of course most of us were hesitant at first but then all but 1 person tried them and I must admit we all seemed to enjoy it to the point that other people went for a second run!We visited the oyster farm and had a fantastic tour from Dave the owner. There is nothing that he doesn’t know about oysters ! We found it so interesting and we got to taste some delicious oysters. Will definitely go back next time we are in Renvyle.

We booked this tour very last minute and it did not disappoint. It was extremely interesting learning about how oysters grow, the time it takes for them to reach maturity and the amount of work that goes in to making them look like the oysters we see on our plate. Tríona our guide was welcoming, very knowledgeable and happy to answer our many questions. She made shucking oysters look like a breeze. Having never eaten an oyster before, it was a delicious experience, tasting the sea they came from. We thoroughly recommend the experience.
